Welcome to the blog, Steve. That code seems like simple common sense to most hunters, campers, etc. who appreciate and frequently enjoy the Great Outdoors. There are always a few, though, who could use some education, and I guess they're the ones this Code of Outdoor Ethics was written for.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
